From 6acd7d5ef264d8e9a8988cebf6eeb3567eaf60c6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dan Williams Date: Thu, 27 Feb 2020 21:39:23 -0800 Subject: libnvdimm/namespace: Enforce memremap_compat_align() The pmem driver on PowerPC crashes with the following signature when instantiating misaligned namespaces that map their capacity via memremap_pages(). BUG: Unable to handle kernel data access at 0xc001000406000000 Faulting instruction address: 0xc000000000090790 NIP [c000000000090790] arch_add_memory+0xc0/0x130 LR [c000000000090744] arch_add_memory+0x74/0x130 Call Trace: arch_add_memory+0x74/0x130 (unreliable) memremap_pages+0x74c/0xa30 devm_memremap_pages+0x3c/0xa0 pmem_attach_disk+0x188/0x770 nvdimm_bus_probe+0xd8/0x470 With the assumption that only memremap_pages() has alignment constraints, enforce memremap_compat_align() for pmem_should_map_pages(), nd_pfn, and nd_dax cases. This includes preventing the creation of namespaces where the base address is misaligned and cases there infoblock padding parameters are invalid.
